The Colts have drafted running backs in the middle round of the draft two years in a row, and that seems to be a sweet spot for general manager Chris Ballard.
Marlon Mack showed plenty of promise as a fourth round rookie last season, and Ballard drafted two running backs in the middle of the 2018 NFL Draft.
“Running back” is probably too simple of a term to use for the Colts’ newest fourth round rookie running back Nyheim Hines.
Hines began his college career at North Carolina State as a receiver gaining 256 yards receiving on 20 catches out wide and running for 243 yards at 5.
